3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Kashif Jones
My distribution method • My magazine is going to be a Jazz magazine therefore, I do not want to go down the sale and return routes as I cannot afford to waste money • It’s also bad for the environment. • I decided to choose postal distribution as I can have monthly issue which will be delivered straight to their doors. I would have an online website which will work in partnership; I will also give my postal subscribers perks such as posters of jazz artist who will be featured in our magazine, and put dates for when there performing next. • •
My Publiction Jazzwise Publications Limited is a UK-based specialist jazz music publisher and Education Company. I believe my magazine will incorporate well with them, reason being the Jazzwise magazine does not target the 16 + Jazz audience .I will be therefore I believe they would be a good company to distribute my magazine.

Ways of engaging with your audience • I believe in the modern day society, social networking is extremely important magazine such as Downbeat and Jazzwise both have Twitter pages • I will also design a Twitter page as you will be able to connect personally with your fans. • I can also do online session where you can get the artist to talk from your twitter account to the fans which I believe is a great way of keeping the fans and readers interested. •
